There are two classes of rules here: naming and formatting. Formatting can be completely automated and thus changed at will, even locally with git hooks. Whitespace can be made truly insignificant with the proper tools. While you could apply the same kind of automated logic to naming, the risk of collision is non zero and moreover would likely break runtime mechanisms like reflection, etc.
